Respondent: Southend Borough Council - Regeneration and Business Development
All areas of the borough should have high quality streetscapes allowing residence to enjoy the space in which they live and develop a sense of community. It is important that areas that have little or no landscaping are prioritised. It is also important that developments contain high quality soft landscaping suitable for the area. Trees are important to both the streetscape and the local environment. However, good quality planting including grass and shrubs can be just as beneficial and in most cases better than a tree in the wrong place. Greening of existing areas should also be included.
